Engine swaps in cars, boats, airplanes... they are all relatively easy... if you can READ DIRECTIONS. You do enough maintenance on any vehicle and you'll end up being able to do it without the manual, but it ALWAYS helps to have that sucker right there just in case, even for the vets.

IMHO you should always have on hand:
--Maintenance Manual!!!
--sandwich baggies and zip-ties/wire ties (for covering places that you dont want particulates in.[to be known as FOD {Foreign Object Debris} from here on)
--Saran-Wrap: For bigger areas of FOD protection
--Chalk: For marking belts, hoses, etc
--Duct tape and 1ea of black and red sharpie: Labeling hoses, valves, yadda yadda
--Extra quarts of cruddy wal mart oil: (might as well flush areas if you arent going to clean on the bench)
--A couple of bricks: Regular household bricks. Never know when you need a chock, or something that needs to be laid down but wont reach the floor...aka Brake caliper
--Beer: Self explanatory
--A breaker bar: There is at least one point in any type of big maintenance situation you will wish you had one of these.


Just a few things I leave around the work area just to make my life easier.

I thought FOD was Foreign Object Damage, thats what they told me in my aviation class atleast.

I thought FOD was Foreign Object Damage, thats what they told me in my aviation class atleast.

It has two meanings =) Debris when it enterd the engine, Damage when it exits lol.

Define:Bird; Semisolid Foreign Object Debris.

F-15 mechanic joke. Yah I know, I suck.

But of course, I learned all that in the military, none of it applies in the real world rofl. Nice to see another with aviation knowledge.

Think I could swap my F22a4 with a JFS unit? hehe

[Kurobei]

or a tree and pullies with rope, is all you really need.

Haha thats some Wile E. Coyote shiet right there man! Haha never would've thought of that! however make sure the tree has a good backbone...don't want the tree to snap and the engine to fall on the ground.


I remember me and a couple of friends tied a rope on a tree that swings over the creek.... and umm my heavy set friend kinda didn't make it That was funny as hell since he came out all muddy and mossy we called him swamp thing. We rode home on our bikes and he trailed water the whole way home.Aww the good o' days
